Photovoltaic news from Viken.com, according to a survey by the Hamburg Appino market research institute, 25% of German owners want to invest in installing photovoltaic systems this year. Calculated based on the number of German owners, this will generate demand for up to 3.5 million photovoltaic systems, approximately 17.5 times that of 2021.

The reason for this change among German owners is that local energy prices have continued to rise since the fourth quarter of 2021. Coupled with the impact of the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict, the price of electricity for German residents has become unacceptable to most people. In fact, as early as July last year, some netizens said that the price of electricity for German residents had reached 4.5 times that of our country.

Among renewable energy sources, photovoltaics are the electricity generation method with the lowest initial investment cost and the highest acceptance in Germany. Therefore, the Hamburg Appino market research agency conducted such a survey. If this survey data is more accurate, it will make Germany the most important market for Chinese photovoltaic companies in Europe.

data shows that as a developed country, Germany plays a pivotal role in the history of photovoltaic development. As early as 2004, Germany subsidized the local photovoltaic industry. greatly promoted the development of the photovoltaic industry, making it the largest photovoltaic market in the world at that time, and it has remained so for many years. Germany's Q-Cells has also become one of the world's largest solar cell manufacturers.

Until 2013, the German government believed that supporting photovoltaic development was not the best choice for Germany to develop renewable energy. It even believed that investing a lot of money in the past might be the "most expensive mistake" in Germany's environmental policy.

Since then, German photovoltaics have gradually retreated to the second line. Local photovoltaic companies have suffered a huge blow. Q-Cells had no choice but to file for bankruptcy and was eventually acquired by South Korean chemical giant Hanwha Group.

However, the high-quality photovoltaic systems produced by Chinese companies still attract the attention of many German residents. Therefore, Germany's newly installed photovoltaic capacity has been growing in recent years. It is not only still the top ten photovoltaic market in the world, but also the country with the largest photovoltaic installed capacity in Europe.

Of course, despite this, Germany's new photovoltaic installed capacity is far from returning to the "peak" before 2010. Data shows that from 2010 to 2012, Germany's newly installed photovoltaic capacity exceeded 7GW for three consecutive years. However, after seven consecutive years of year-on-year growth, Germany will only have 5.26GW of newly installed capacity in 2021.

Photovoltaic development has suffered repeated setbacks. After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, it was announced that nuclear power plants would be closed. In addition, Germany's local natural resources are relatively poor, resulting in Germany being very dependent on imported energy.

Therefore, once the situation in Europe changes slightly, the price of electricity in Germany will skyrocket, and photovoltaics will come to the forefront again. The only difference this time is that with upstream silicon materials in short supply, it may be difficult for German residents to meet their demand for photovoltaics in a short period of time.
